When I lived in San Diego, this was one of the main beaches where I would surf. Every year, San Diego seems increasingly crowded, and more cities are trying to do the L.A. thing by putting a parking meter next to any place that could fit a car. This is one of the last beaches I know of where there is still relatively easy-to-find free parking in the middle of the summer—the spot known as Cherry Hill is located directly behind Frogs Gym. In the winter, you can get some great sunsets and many abandoned stairways once you’ve led up to the houses on the cliffs above, where you can take photos. Like this one. Except this one was still in use.
